Hurricane Electric, the world’s largest IPv6-native Internet backbone, announced today that it has deployed a new Point of Presence (PoP) in Telesmart Skopje in Skopje, North Macedonia. The new PoP is located at NN Nikola Parapunov, Skopje 1000, North Macedonia.

Telesmart Skopje is located 11.5 miles from the Skopje International Airport in the economic, cultural, and academic center of the country, which is home to the EU’s European Institute of Innovation and Technology innovation hub designed to provide local entrepreneurs, innovators, and learners with innovation support and connect them to the European innovation ecosystem. This PoP facility is directly connected to significant European nodes, including the node in Vienna.

This data center uses the latest in technologies for climate control, and fire detection and prevention. Redundant power supplies ensure uptime for clients. It is monitored 24 x 7 with access control to ensure secure operations.

This PoP is Hurricane Electric’s first location in North Macedonia and 6th in southern Europe and will provide the region with improved fault tolerance, load balancing and congestion management in the delivery of next-generation IP connectivity services.

“It is exciting to open our first PoP in North Macedonia and connect customers to our worldwide network,” said Mike Leber, President of Hurricane Electric. “Hurricane Electric is delighted to provide customers with unprecedented IP transit options, furthering HE’s commitment that users everywhere have access to the high-speed connectivity necessary for our fast-paced world.”
